diaBENic posted a discussionFall Tune-Up
I just had the rare pleasure of changing my insulin pump site, refilling my insulin & tubing, changing my pump battery, and changing my Dexcom sensor all at the same time. I feel like a new bionic man with fresh tune-up for fall. The simple pleasures in life I guess...
diaBENic replied to AustinMom's discussion 'Pump logistics for tucked in shirts'"I have a few pairs of Dockers dress pants that have a hidden elastic band... The way the hidden band is set up allows me to slide my pump/tubing underneath the band and into the front pockets making it completely invisible and making the tucked in…"
diaBENic replied to Danny's discussion '12-24 Hour Flatline' in the group FLATLINERS CLUB"I just got my Dexcom on Friday afternoon...and holy crap do I love this thing. My last A1C (approx 4 months ago) was 8.7, which was the best A1C I've had in literally 16 years. That's not great, but that's down from 12.2 about 2 years…"

diaBENic replied to Danny's discussion 'TAG SPREADSHEETS' in the group TAGgers UNITED"Maybe I should rename "Max Extra Bolus Per Hour" to "Target Delivery Rate Per Hour"...
I saw a post by Danny where he determined for himself that 1 to 1.2 units per hour worked best for him when doing the extended bolus to avoid…"

Thanks!"
diaBENic replied to Danny's discussion 'TAG SPREADSHEETS' in the group TAGgers UNITED"Hi All -
I just ready about TAG this morning, and although I haven't tried it yet, I'm very anxious to. I developed a spreadsheet in Excel to help with the calculations.
You first need to enter your individual settings for various…"

"Total Available Glucose. The premise behind TAG is that a portion of the protein and fat content of the meal will also contribute to carb loading above and beyond the actual carbs in the meal."
diaBENic replied to dickengel's discussion 'Ethical Cure'"I'm a bit embarrassed, but after being a diabetic for 22+ years I have actually never donated to JDRF. I always figured I had enough of my own bills & diabetes expenses to worry about. After reading this post, I'm going to start…"
Jason replied to diaBENic's discussion 'Painful site - change it immediately or ride it out?'"For me, it depends on the type of pain. I can tell the difference between pain that is just due to the trauma of placing the infusion set as opposed to pain from the cannula making contact with muscle, nerve, or larger blood vessels. I will usually…"
"I get pain if my 6mm is near muscle tissue. if I leave it in I will get pretty sore. I left one in my leg long enough to start limping (I think it's sthe stubborn in me sometimes I swear). I guess with me it's more of a severity thing..."

Is it wrong to be shoving my fiances leftover birthday cake in my face while reading diabetic message boards? :)"
Ahmad replied to diaBENic's discussion 'Painful site - change it immediately or ride it out?'"If there was pain, I will give it some time (less than hour) if it continues I change my site!"
